From critically acclaimed author-illustrator Jerry Craft
comes a special box set that includes New Kid, winner of the
Newbery Medal, Coretta Scott King Author Award, and Kirkus Prize, and its
companion, Class Act, both #1 New York Times bestsellers!


In New Kid, seventh grader Jordan Banks loves
nothing more than drawing cartoons about his life. But instead of sending him
to his dream art school, his parents enroll him in the prestigious Riverdale
Academy Day School, where there are few kids of color. As Jordan makes the
daily trip from his Washington Heights apartment to the upscale school, he
finds himself torn between two worlds—and not really fitting into either one.
Can Jordan learn to navigate his new school culture while keeping his
neighborhood friends and staying true to himself?


In Class Act, newly minted eighth grader Drew
Ellis takes center stage. Drew is no stranger to the saying “You have to work
twice as hard to be just as good.” But what if he works ten times as
hard and still isn’t afforded the same opportunities as his privileged RAD
classmates? To make matters worse, Drew is trying not to withdraw from his
buddy Liam, who might be one of those privileged kids. And their mutual friend,
Jordan, doesn't know how to keep the group together. Will Drew ever find a way
to bridge the divide so they can all truly accept each other? Moreover, will he
ever be able to accept himself?

This box set of two bestselling graphic novels makes an excellent gift!
